    Nothing like them OEM steps turning into death traps when they are wet. My poor 8 year old bit it while exiting the truck. Luckily he held onto his milkshake.

    Any mod to add some traction on the plastic to make it less slippery?

    Skateboard grip tape is easy to find and cheap.

    How About stair tread grip tape?? You can find it at Home Depot or Lowes. It's like 80grit sandpaper that has a sticky back. just cut to fit and peel off the back and stick. Should help.

    Yes, it's a common problem with the oem boards. I always point out/tell people to hold the "oh sh*t" handle
